Godzilla

S01E08: The Magnetic Horror

A drilling outpost in Antarctica is attacked by an enormous amphibious sea creature that resembles a giant sea turtle who rises from the depths of the Antarctic Ocean, and the monster absorbs the energy from the facility's oil pump. The creature is dubbed the Magnetic Monster, since it has the power to generate waves of magnetic force from its beak that can either attract or repel objects, and it needs to feed on magnetic sources of energy to survive. As the crew of the Calico investigate the creature, they call upon Godzilla to counter the Magnetic Monster's next target, and he easily drives the creature away. However, it's discovered that the aquatic kaiju is growing increasingly larger as it absorbs more magnetic energy, and the beast uses its power of polarized attraction to swallow the mini-sub containing Capt. Majors and Brock, trapping them within the beast itself. Upon Dr. Darian's suggestion, Godzilla chases the Magnetic Monster to the South Pole, where she believes the beast
